Text Spinner

Description

This tiny plugin allows you to use spintax like {phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3} in your posts, pages and theme files. Just enclose the content that you want to be processed in the shortcode [wpts_spin][/wpts_spin] and a unique copy will be generated on each page load. Alternatively, you can pass the spintax string to the function wpts_spin() and echo the returned value.

The plugin can help you avoid duplicate content penalties. For instance if you have a sizable block of text that needs to appear throughout the website then you can write spintax for it and use the above-mentioned shortcode or template tag to generate unique copies.

Nested spintax like {phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}} is also supported by the plugin.

Example 1:

Shortcode:

[wpts_spin]{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}[/wpts_spin]

Function:

<?php wpts_spin('{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}'); ?>

Sample Output:

• phrase 1
• phrase 2
• phrase 3

Example 2 (Nested Spintax):

Shortcode:

[wpts_spin]{phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}}[/wpts_spin]

Function:

<?php wpts_spin( '{phrase 1|phrase 2|{sub-phrase 1|sub-phrase 2|sub-phrase 3}}' ); ?>

Sample Output:

• phrase 1
• sub-phrase 2

Example 3 (Caching):

Shortcode:

[wpts_spin cache="604800"]{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}[/wpts_spin]

Function:

<?php wpts_spin( '{phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}', array( 'cache' => '604800' ) ); ?>

Sample Output:

Same as Example 1 but the output will be cached for a week (604800 seconds).
